Nokia Siemens Networks has announced its strategy to focus on mobile broadband and services and the launch of an extensive global restructuring program.

The GSMA, representing the interests of mobile operators worldwide at the ongoing African Telecommunication Union ( ATU) Digital Migration and Spectrum Policy Summit in Kenya Naiobi has called on African countries including Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania to urgently release harmonised spectrum for mobile broadband, saying that it was vital for the economic and social development of sub-Saharan Africa.

Starcomms Plc, one of the leading Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) operators in the Nigerian telecommunications industry has debunked allegation that it has opened discussion with another operator on the possibility of being acquired.

Again, the global software giant, Microsoft has raised alarm saying that economic growth in Nigeria will continue to be thwarted by piracy unless the ugly trend is fought with relentless efforts by relevant authorities.

FOREMOST Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA, operator in the country, Multilinks, which went under a few months back has returned into the market with a call to the federal government to provide urgent bail out options for the CDMA operators in the country to forestall their extinction.
